Ambition, No one wants their kids to be mediocre

As parents, we all want our children to succeed in life. No one wants their kids to have a mediocre education, mediocre future. But how do we encourage ambition in our kids? And are we brave enough to let them make their own choices? Are we brave enough to allow them the chance of failure? So that they can find their own path to success.

Right now, more than ever before, we need ambition in our youth, the next generation.  We need future leaders and doctors, teachers and business owners, lawyers and artisans who are brave enough to want something different, to strive for better.

As the world seems to be in a state of chaos. Today is as good a day as any to encourage our children to harness as much purpose and ambition as feels right. Help them understand and get started on whatever forward momentum they can manage, and continue to support their efforts along the way!
